Outdoor recreation and rural character in Greenville Town
About 4,700 people live in Greenville Town, New York, drawn by outdoor recreation, the area’s rural character and solidly rated school district. “It’s definitely an outdoorsy environment,” says Chris Ogden, Realtor with Realty Promotions in Middletown. “Hiking, biking, boating on the lakes. And it has Minisink Valley Schools, which are very sought after.” The town abuts the New Jersey border and lies close to the Delaware River. Greenville Town contains only hamlets and small groups of homes rather than cities or villages, and residents may get their mail from post offices in Port Jervis or Middletown, two nearby communities of larger size that provide shopping, dining and train transit.
High Point State Park is the highest point in New Jersey and offers a spectacular view.
Residents value the quiet charm and greenery of Greenville Town’s housing.

Diverse styles on large lots amid trees and hills
Largely rural, potential homebuyers can expect spacious lots and ample acreage. “Most of the housing is larger acreage,” Ogden says. “Pretty much everything you see is on 2 acres or more.” Ranch-style homes, colonial designs and new custom construction sit on sweeping lawns against backdrops of trees and rolling hills. Homes are typically well-spaced out, with lawns, fields or stands of trees separating properties, even in relatively dense areas such as around Hawthorne Lake. The median sale price for a single-family home in Greenville Town is about $470,000. Greenville Town has a CAP Index Crime Score of 1, lower than the national average of 4. Homebuyers may want to note that Greenville Town doesn’t have its own zip code. “Your address might be either in Middletown or Port Jervis, depending,” Ogden says. “It can be confusing for homebuyers as a result.”

Local parks, natural areas, educational programs and a sculpture park
Residents can visit the Town of Greenville Park, with trails, playground equipment, a picnic area and recently added pickleball courts. Hansen Memorial Park offers a playground, sports courts and fields. Locals can explore Huckleberry Ridge State Forest for scenic views or High Point State Park across the border in New Jersey for hiking trails, including a segment of the Appalachian Trail, skiing and camping at the Sawmill Lake Campground. The Brandwein Nature Learning Preserve is a conservancy with educational and recreational programs for all ages, including a summer science camp for kids, a lecture series, and eagle-sighting outings. Storm King Art Center, a significant draw in the Hudson Valley area, is an outdoor sculpture park that covers 500 acres. It’s located about 37 miles east of Greenville Town.

Other options are available in Middletown, about 13 miles away. Both Port Jervis and Middletown have train stations, served by the Main and Berg lines. These run to Hoboken, New Jersey, where people can transfer to lines serving the New York metro area. New York Stewart International Airport is about 33 miles away near Orange Lake.

Port Jervis and Middletown offer shopping and dining choices
Largely rural, there aren’t many businesses or restaurants within Greenville Town, but options for shopping and dining aren’t far. “There are some local shops and farm stands,” Ogden says. “But you need to go to Port Jervis or Middletown for most things.” Port Jervis has quite a few dining options, including the Erie Hotel & Restaurant and Fox N Hare Brewing Company. “They’re revitalizing the downtown area there,” Ogden says. “Port Jervis got a big grant to do that a few years ago.” The Save A Lot supermarket in Port Jervis and the Aldi and ShopRite in Middletown are nearby grocery stores. Galleria at Crystal Run is a shopping mall in Middletown.
The two-story Galleria at Crystal Run mall hosts boutiques, restaurants and a trampoline park.
